James Vincent McMorrow

In the canyon I was started young. In the ocean, in the valley run. There was hope that time would disappear, in the smoke and when the valley clears. And I think about the cold air. I've been thinking about cold air. And I was (I was) in the dark. I was (...

the wind changed, the first day that you came through cut the corn, washed it clean now everything thats ever gone before, is just a blur it’s all because of you and now i find, this cities like a stranger to me i once was fooled by cadillacs and honey b...

When the bears They come You won't Have long You can try And run But you won't Get far Violence on the streets Violence on the streets, so you're climbing the walls Spitting out your teeth 'Cause bears don't give a fuck about what you want Bleedi...

What is it that I want? How long is it that I want it? Met you first, fifth of August End of May, 2064 Bend your knees in the forest Bend your knees when you crawl inside You believed I was flawless I believe That the only Way it's ever gonna stop...

you can stop your crying, i’m never coming back you can stop your crying, just walk down the tracks again i just cant take the pressure, it’s all too much for me i just cant take the pressure, please just let me be see i’ve been, breaking hearts, for far...

speak until the dust settles in the same specific place light refused to go drink it from a cast and iron plate instead of cold milk was offered unripe instead of silence considered craven nothing made it seem hidden where the aging soil was pure pr...

Give me the note Hand it to me I like the weight How sorrow feels I'm on the team Make me a king Live underwater Surfacing rarely Raising other sons Ink on a wall Each time I see you Real love is harm Nags at your feet Conquers the beach Conqu...

The mountain broke it's back There was nothing we could do about it Boys still like me fine Exacting what love means Distance made Catching trains Left you there alone But baby you feel everything And there's nothing we could can do about it I try an...

December 2914 I still don't understand a thing December 2914 The spaceships here are deafening December 2914 Atmosphere is paper thin December 2914 Phone reception's harrowing But it's okay maybe if I'm honest When nothing real is honest So how coul...

Are you learning Like I taught you? Retreads only Don't reveal Truth Snow kept pushing You kept laughing Do you love me Like I love you? 'Cause I don't want to wait forever, no I don't want to wait I don't want to wait forever, no I don't want to...

when the hills let go slowly fade into the water like some ancient lover on a ship filled with ghosts it’s something to behold when the paper thin girls with twisting little braids in their hair, they take off their coats and throw pebbles and stones f...

early in the morning, i’ll come calling, i’ll come calling after you darling if you answer, oh we’ll wander, down the garden where it’s cool later we’d discover, all in covers, children silent as the stars early in the morning, in the morning, everything at...

So are you good? Cause I don't feel right Are you strong? Cause I'm so damn tired What you want from me? Maybe you already have it Will we ever reach the point where this fits me like man [Chorus] And I think if I'm evil I'll be going down If I'm ev...

follow you down to the red oak tree as the air moves thick through the hollow reeds will you wait for me there until someone comes to carry me, carry me down see I have not I have not grown cold I have stole from men who have stole from those with thei...

from the woods, from the woods they are coming from the woods riding horses cloaked in grey make their way, to my door lay their boots upon my floor wash their hands and start to pray but i am gone, i am not there i have followed mountain bears to a ca...

Heard you're getting married (Get low) Everybody says (Get low) Greatest man alive (Get low) I've been told (I could never show, I could never show) Got yourself a dime (Get low) Finally getting paid (Get low) Buying people silence (Get low) They're afr...

The moon holds the light And the moon's this spinning globe Shedding light upon the road The bird won't fly And a bird without its wings is a low and tragic thing We are ghosts We are ghosts amongst these hills From the trees of velvet green T...

Someone here's a lie, somewhere underneath, Caught between the railing, mirroring the beat. I no longer feel and the years asleep. Show no sense of hope, staring honestly. I wanna go south of the river, glacier slow in the heart of the winter. I wanna go...

How was the gold? Along the path of eternity hold Although it called on a pair on its way Blinded with hot glass and calling off steam There was still smoke Burnt in the glass Reclaim your portion and pass it inside And in the stories of long lost entr...

hear, hear the noise that moves so soft and slow thats the sound of freshly fallen snow your love is gold, your love is gold seems, seems as though we’ll be stuck out here for days to bang upon these drums that we have made you never know, you never know...

Think about it, there must be higher love Down in the heart and in the stars above, Without it, life is wasted time. Look inside your heart, I'll look inside mine Things look so bad everywhere In this whole world, what's fair? We walk blind and we...

I'm in that field again You're in here too I think there's tigers here They seem confused Don't take things so literally This isn't really a field More like a metaphorical representation of Who shook it once last year How do I die? How do I die? Som...

[Verse 1] I never learn Never learned from before So I return I return expecting more [Pre-Chorus] That’s how I waste the moment Everybody says Living with this violence Littered with regret See, I’ve been wasting moments Strip them 'til they’re cl...

Have you come here to save me? Have you come here to waste my time again? Ask me too many questions Ask me too many questions I can't stand And come out of nowhere Put my head through a window instead of talking Have you come here to save me? Have you c...

Honestly I'm glad it's raining Desire is like a flood that drowns you every day Honestly I'm glad it's raining Should cut me loose before I get too heavy later Honestly I'm glad it's raining Truth is to get tired of all this compensation Honestly I'm gla...

Golden, golden, golden river run To the East then drop beneath the sun And as the moon lies low and overhead We're lost Burn slow, burning up the back wall Long roads, where the city meets the sky Most days, most days stay the sole same Please stay, fo...

I make it hard to love me back I know, I know Just close your eyes and hold your breath It won't be long before [?] Just like before, before I [?] Just like [?] So I take a long way home I call you up Convince you it's someone else Somebody sure Cau...

[Intro] (This ain't so hard) (These are just ordinary times) (Everything is fine) (?) (This ain't so hard) (These are just ordinary times) (Everything is fine) [Verse 1] I saw you out Take off some clothes Say something real Make it real Cause yo...

Out with the golden we sew, and the lower past that crawls. Now, to the doorway you run to the girl that's not enough. Shower's looking, now we're peeking over, I was lucky. In the calm the feather flip the so, of harlot's. All the same. And I hope I'm...

And you feel it You feel the pressure in your bones It's resonating Trying to conceal it And you call me You waited by the phone for hours Thinking maybe do I manipulate you? Have your cell phone, have you cell phone with the words of every goddamn assh...

[Verse 1] I know on paper I seem appealing That's misleading It's misleading Got this cigarette I've been concealing I don't smoke it 'cause I know I'd die I just hold it in the fading light So anyone who passes might think that I'm more interesting th...

[Verse 1] I don't want to live without your love I had let it go to waste I don't want to live without your love Drag it to an open window Shred it in a million pieces I don't want to live without your love Funny how we do without everything we trade aw...

There is so little left from the warmth of the sun. (x3) Tell me this is it, where nothing starts. Been in where we almost missed. Staggered that it did not flood. And I look back and see from under look. Pardon it for different reasons. Pardoned with the la...

As long As I'm enough for you Please say it Or I'm lost some way Doubt A constant theme for me Remain here Like a. pink salt lake Oh, to question everything Then wait While the warmth, it drifts Through so So many false alarms That breathe Mov...

Will not come home. Tepid and cold, crawling lessons to the fold. Trace it by line, light in the ground feeling the face to the sound. Now I can't walk. I can barely run and the walls will travel on. Tear it into you, loss giving it all to you. Here have wa...

I will not cave under you for my heart is an unending tomb i will not trouble your rest for my heart is infinity blessed ever a hard rot cut from an ancient cloth of old someone is ringing a bell it chimes through this shimmering shell that once was...

Soon as the storm hit, struck on the hull. Hand in the hallway, here was the soul after soul. Then in a waste end way they call them home. Take it through the footstep in the hearing call. Then no one from the roll up call you. Where you are, arms length, tu...

[Intro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Oh oh oh [Verse 1] We're in it now, everybody knows What I've become Truth is I never once was sad For what I've done It's like a game where everybody dies And has no fun Still I want to play even if I...

parrow and wolf lay as still as the blades of the grass like worn leather boots, of colour and size that would last caught them a lark in a trap, and each held a wing then they tore it apart, before that small bird coud sing confused by the wind, bruised...

I keep on having dreams That gravity's a raging moon Even in my dream The gravity distorts the room I remember feeling That nothing was the wave it seemed It shouldn't be so easy Couldn't stay forever green I have that dream Every time I would wake...

Stow it away for words for dream. Took the nerve for unseen, feeling it go untrue. For a say what is true of chaos in too. Then in the quiet it calls again. In our world in our time, give it all miles away lives alone at the wildest day and then were taken h...

spring it came upon us, every insect filled the air dropped their wings upon my brother, cast their shadows on his hair if we follow where they’re leading, we will surely come before some unseen and wondrous magic made of visions to explore near the...

Let's go out for breakfast when you wake Not hungry now but in a while I think that all could change Used to feel so much that it would ache Now I've figured out, the walls surround, a holiday True care What does that even mean? I needed true care When...

if this is redemption, why do i bother at all there's nothing to mention, and nothing has changed still i’d rather be working at something, than praying for the rain so i wander on, till someone else is saved i moved to the coast, under a mountain swam i...

Down on the West Coast they got a saying If you're not drinking then you're not playing But you've got the music You've got the music in you, don't you? Down on the West Coast I get the feeling like It all could happen, that's why I'm leaving You for th...

So hot, soak it up Through more months, ‘till solid out Same silly things, same debating all day long I go out, same parties, with strengths Expecting nobody And when I leave, you Barely hear me no When the night's up Kiss me and I'm gone... I'm with...

The world was on fire No one could save me but you. Strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd miss somebody like you No, I wanna fall in love No, I wanna fall in love...
